Why?

Watching someone I cared about leaving on a train, these words came to my head:

Why is it when you love someone they become beautiful to you?

Is it because they were beautiful all along, but before their flaws stood out and once you love them those fade into the background?

Why is it that love is something you fight so hard against and yet when it hits you you are defenseless to be rid of it?

What is it within us that causes us deep down inside to want to love and be loved?

Why do you always love those you can't have or who won't love you?

Why is love such a crazy thing and yet what the whole world yearns for?
